The North American Aerospace Defense Command is a United States and Canada bi-national organization charged with the mission of aerospace warning, aerospace control and maritime warning in the defense of North America.

The journey of Santa will be tracked lived by the members of NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and Google's Santa Tracker.

The director, Colonel Harry Shoup, instructed his staff that for the rest of the night any children who called in should be told that CONAD was tracking Santa's progress on radar, and provided with an update on his location. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone rang through to the Crew Commander on duty at the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center.
